With the exception of my family, somewhat warmer weather, and of course my car, I don't think I've ever lived in a town quite so perfect as Roskilde. What's more, it offers a great deal of creative inspiration for me on a daily basis. For example, last weekend I happened upon a group of women knitting up street signs and road posts behind the library. I have no idea why covering the town in brightly-colored cozies makes me so absurdly happy, but it does.
Observe:
 |
| A street post beanie. |
 |
| You guessed it, my favorite. Well, it has daisies! |
 |
| Pompoms, flowers, butterflies. What else. |
 |
| Exceptional handiwork. |
 |
| Du må gerne pjatte -men pas på med at skvatte : You can have fun, but don't fall over. Or something. |
 |
| SQUEE! (I also had this reaction in the street. They thought I was crazy.) |
 |
| ... But it's just so darn cute! |
 |
| NO KNITTED BIKES ALLOWED! (All other bicycles are fine, though). |
 |
| Free knitted apps? |
 |
| I wish I could take the knitters home with me and make them do things like this in my house. At least in my coffeehouse, someday. |

The nearby park also had non-knitted signs put up that say things like: her må der danses
and her må der elskes, which mean
here you may dance and
here you may love, (or something) respectively. I live in such a quirky and magical little place, don't 'ya think?
oh my goodness! that is beyond amazing.
ReplyDeletei can't imagine knitting up a street post...and i definitely wouldn't be the brilliant person to think of doing such a thing.
golly, it's cute!
love the daisies...and the bike? oh dear. the adorableness.
Hey you... that is some nifty stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteHow did they knit a street pole???
ReplyDeleteSo neat! And "have fun but don't fall over" is my future album name.
